Bill McKee here and just joined today. I live in Port Elgin Ontario Canada and I am retired. I worked in the nuclear industry for 39 years and finished my career with the Bruce Nuclear Facility. The ship I am working on - which is my first - is Billing Cutty Sark 459. When I bought it ~ 35 years ago I did not realize it was not for a novice builder! So I will be seeking a lot of assistance with members. I am currently getting into the rigging stage - my instructions are incomplete so I progress is very slow. Looking forward to interacting with you.
Hi Bill, welcome to the SOS group. You have indeed come to the right place for any questions you may have pertaining to model ship building.

Thank you all. As I mentioned I am approaching the rigging stage (with trepidation!!!!). Drawings with the kit do not show details on how stays etc are connected. I am accumulating photos to help. I am finishing mast and yard painting and then on to the rigging.

Not sure if I am starting the rigging correctly. The diagram is from The Cutty Sark Vol II by C.N. Long ridge. My intention is to first connect the lines in the diagram.
also from my side a warm welcome here on board of our forum
